The Honors College offers the Presidential Scholarships. Additionally, Honors students may be eligible for the Provost and Pride of New York Scholarships, awarded by the Office of Admissions. To be considered for a merit scholarship, your general application for admission to the University at Buffalo (either SUNY or Common or Coalition Application) must be on file and complete (including all supplemental materials) by December 15th.
